Bring out Cano for the 9th. Frazier will lead off the 10th inning with a man on 2nd and no outs. Manufacture a run. Bring in Bautista for the 10th and get the punchout and save.

[O's84]

Is he just having a bad day, or is he consistently this bad? If he's this bad no way should he be umpiring.  

[Roy Firestone]

I think the over use of Bautista will come back to bite us...

It's Dan Iassogna and he's making quite the name for himself today for all the wrong reasons.

[WillyM]

I didn't watch yesterday's game and didn't see the beginning of today's game.  Maybe the announcers went over this at the beginning of each telecast, but I didn't hear an explanation.

Can anyone tell me why the players and the umpires are all wearing olive drab colored caps?

Hyde is really riding him and Cano hard, a little too hard for me.

[Mr-splash]

Or not. Bad move by Hyde.

This Umpire hasnt really umpired a game this year?   He must have something going on.  Family or drinking too much or some crap.  And he is awful today.  Worst umpire I have seen all year.  Almost like the damn ump who umpired the Kerry Wood 20 K game.  Calling stuff a foot outside a strke.

Just a horrible at bat for Mountcastle....he was going for a HR...and was completely out of control..

The umpire is changing the complexion of every at-bat. Instead of 2-1, it's 1-2.

[Roy Firestone]

we are going to lose it here...

No.

Angel hasn't.

Not this guy.

I've posted this a million times, but his usage is not out of line at all with other top-end relievers. There's no evidence he is being overused.

Yeah, saw that. Do CB Bucknor next. 
 

God I hate Kiermaier. If I had to assemble one team to beat the Orioles and my life depended on it, I’m taking Pillar and Kiermaier and that should be good enough. 

[Gurgi]

Now lets see Bautista throw two wild pitches and just let the guy score.
